Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, also known as D5 and D5, is an organosilicon compound with the formula [(CH3)2SiO]5. It is a colorless and odorless liquid that is slightly volatile. It is used in various cosmetic products. It also is used as a dry cleaning solvent and has been marketed as an "eco-friendly" and "green" alternative to perchloroethylene in the 2000s, under the tradename GreenEarth. Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane is persistent in nature and possibly bioaccumulative. Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane is considered non-toxic but its long-term health effects are unknown.
